Only time will tell, though.

Judging by the rest of the thread, the answer saying it was a joke was sarcasm (along the lines of "yeah right, because spending six months making a joke would be worth it") and there is a mod. The fact that the thread deteriorates into a models versus sprites and a modder's right to have their mod played the way they want versus a player wanting to play it a different way backs up the realness of the mod.

it feels like far too much work for being a simple joke, really, and it's about a touchy subject, as well (the 'good' version of Duke Nukem Forever that never went to be anything than a promising trailer). of course, they could just release the mod and people will find out it's a joke, but with all of those custom-made sprites and stuff... who in their right mind would waste all that time and effort just for the sake of giving the middle finger to Duke Nukem fans?

Porting an unwelcomed reboot which was mislabelled as a sequel into the engine of a perfectly welcomed predecessor?!?
Two wrongs don't make a right. That's all I have to say.
I just want to see the Rise Of The Triad remake. Now that would truly be a welcomed something.

What? Duke Nukem Forever wasn't a reboot, it takes place years after the events of Duke 3D.
